Nokia Lifetimer is a counter that keeps track of the Total call time of your phone. It will show how much the phone has been used, and it’s the best thing to check if you’re planning to buy a used Nokia Mobile.
To see the Total Call Time or the Lifetimer counter, On the standby screen type the following code *#92702689# (Easy way to remember this is – *#war0anty#). And it will pop up a message that shows the lifetimer in hours and minutes.
Here is a detailed procedure to make this lifetimer zero.
REQUIREMENTS:
The following files are required to reset the lifetime:
- Nemesis service suite link: Download from Here
- Nokia Connectivity cable driver link: Download Here (This version of Nokia Connectivity is necessary if you are using latest PC suite)
- Lifetimer.pm file: See the download link down this post.
